With the LimeSurvey fundraiser concluding successfully we have put alot of time in reworking LimeSurvey to make it support a plugin API. We plan to have the question type plugins available in 2.1 - but there is still alot of work to be done and so we decided to release an intermediate 2.05 first which will support already basic plugins. Example for events you will be able to use: onSurveyCompleted: Fires if a survey is completed and hands over the ID of the response to your plugin beforeSurveySettings, newSurveySettings: For survey specific plugin settings - based on the survey settings you could example reconfigure your plugin automatically ...and more. Now we need your feedback. What events would you like to hook into? Let us know in the forum thread for this article!

Most of you might have already noticed that we starting releasing 2.05+ builds recently. LimeSurvey 2.05 is a strong step forward regarding plugin-capability to extend your LimeSurvey with your own functions. The whole plugin concept is still in its childhood and some function might be missing still but we are looking forward to any community contributions which help to extend the current functionality. Also the new version  will set new limits on question codes to ensure integrity and prepare for bigger changes to come with 2.1 and 2.2. Please note that 2.05+ is not yet available on ComfortUpdate as we are ironing out the some minor upgrade issues. It will become automatically available once we are certain that everything update-related is working well enough. Hints and help (bug reports) are always welcome!
